Can a host or someone at HGTV provide me with advice for my home or garden projects?

Our category pages and indexes contain a wide variety of home and garden projects (category page links are listed below):

How can I contact HGTV hosts?
HGTV does not release the addresses or phone numbers of our hosts. If you would like to request a guest appearance by an HGTV host at a special event, we encourage you to call 865-560-3333 and follow the instructions you hear. Many HGTV hosts have provided website links along with their biographies, which can be found on their respective Show Pages.

Can I get my house remodeled or decorated by HGTV?
The producers of each series choose the homes featured on HGTV. To find out which shows are currently accepting submissions in their areas, please visit our Be On HGTV page.

Will HGTV feature a new home that I'm building?
The producers of each series choose the homes featured on HGTV. To find out which shows are currently accepting submissions in their areas, please visit our Be On HGTV page.

How do I search for show information by week number, episode number, air-date or topic?
These specific search options are available using the Episode Finder located on the left side of the Program Guide page.

I'm having trouble finding information on one of your shows. Where do I look?
First you should visit our Episode Finder located on the Program Guide page. There you'll find different ways to search our website.

How can I purchase videos of HGTV shows?
Videos are not available of HGTV shows but a variety of HGTV programs are available On Demand. For a current listing, consult the HGTV Video On Demand monthly program guide.

How can I find out whether a show will air again?
Using the Episode Finder located on the left side of the Program Guide page you can locate and view the re-air dates available for the next 30 days.

Why did you change your air schedule?
HGTV refreshes its schedule with new series and new episodes of existing series periodically throughout the year. In doing so, we sometimes move a few programs to different time periods to try to achieve a better combination of programs. We consider these changes very carefully and do our best to keep the schedule as convenient as we can for the most number of viewers possible.

Why aren't HGTV schedules in my local television guide?
Local newspaper editors determine which networks to list in their weekly program guides. HGTV does not have the authority to demand that these papers include HGTV programming in their lineups, but we're working hard to encourage them to include us in their listings. If your paper does not include HGTV, write or call the editors of your newspaper to voice your request.

Does HGTV offer a magazine or program guide for sale?
HGTV does not offer a magazine or program guide but does offer free Decorating, Gardening and weekly Ideas e-newsletters containing programming highlights, new online features, tips, sweepstakes and more. Sign up today for one, two or all three free HGTV e-newsletters.

Are all HGTV programs closed-captioned?
As a commitment to our hearing-impaired audience and to comply with FCC guidelines, all HGTV programming will eventually be closed-captioned. A large portion of our programming library is already captioned, and the process to add this feature to all HGTV shows is an ongoing priority.

How can I purchase HGTV merchandise?
Visit the HGTV Marketplace for the latest HGTV books and CDs as well as many products featured on our shows. HGTV logo-imprinted hats, apparel, souvenirs, etc., are not available at this time.

May I submit program ideas to HGTV?
HGTV appreciates your interest in suggesting ideas, but we accept series and specials proposals only from television production companies with national or major market production credentials.
If you are a national or major market production company submitting a proposal, please call 865-694-2700, x2951, for details. For legal reasons, we will not review any program ideas that do not comply with our submission guidelines. Because of the volume of inquiries, it is important to follow this procedure since Viewer Services cannot address these proposals.

How do I advertise on your website?
For information about advertising on hgtv.com, please send inquiries to Online-Ad@hgtv.com.

Are your press releases online?
Yes. To view HGTV press releases within the last year, please visit our Press Releases page.
